The best web site ever for help with English Staffordshire pottery  is thepotteries.org - the layout is a bit quirky but once you get used to it it's a real goldmine. Please feel free to donate too!
 
The link below is just on Ridgway Potteries. Your marks seem to be at the later range of those shown so I'd guess we're looking at 60's onwards.

Antique Questions Forum / Help needed identifying some plates

« on: August 11, 2013, 11:08:20 am »

I'd be grateful for any help I can get identifying the plates below. The only clue I have is they came together with some other plates which I can identify as Russian (or this could be a red herring). I'm running a small business selling vintage and antique wares in Sweden but noone here recognizes the marks below.
The plates are about 10" diameter. I also have some flatter plates with the same hand-painted marks underneath but the number impressed (e.g. "61" below) is different - therefore I guess this could be some sort of shape identifier.

The metal objects look like meat skewers to me but it's not clear how long they are.
